Ridesharing in Estonia

As Europe looks for models to facilitate a peaceful coexistence between taxi drivers and new ride-sharing platforms, like Uber or Taxify, Estonia offers a valid solution for both the traditional transport providers and the newcomers to share the market, while ensuring that the new digital ecosystem does not hamper consumers’ rights.

In November 2017, Estonia introduced new legislation on ridesharing. EURACTIV travelled to Tallinn to interview some of the politicians who shaped the legislation and some of the organisations that will be impacted by it.
